Family members say they count on At "Ricky" Chandee, 52, to be an instigator of fun, a source of calm and a helper. Recently, the Trump administration described him differently, as one of the “worst of the worst” immigrants arrested by immigration officers in Minnesota. ⁠
⁠
He was detained by federal agents the morning of Jan. 24, the same day Alex Pretti was shot and killed.⁠
⁠
“He is an outstanding husband, brother-in-law and uncle to my kids,” said Lucy Huynh, Chandee’s sister-in-law. “He’s taught my son how to play baseball. He's helped my daughter with school projects, things that he doesn't have to do.”⁠
⁠
Chandee’s lawyer, Linus Chan, asked a federal court in Texas to block his deportation. The motion was rejected Friday.⁠
